"Spaeth received what might be a misleading grade from Pro Football Focus. Of the 62 graded tight ends, Spaeth ranked seventh overall. He caught only six passes for 28 yards and one touchdown, but PFF ranked him as the No. 1 run blocker for the position in the NFL and the 16th-best pass blocker. He is effective on the edge as a blocker and the Steelers know what he is capable of doing."

Everyone thinks Spaeth must be a good blocker because he is so tall. That might be true for an OT, but not for a TE. Low man wins the blocking war. He has a high center of gravity. He was basically as worthless here as he was in Chicago. Big deal; so he is 6-7. He is not a good receiver or blocker, period.
